Jimmy Kimmel's return to hosting the Oscars included a skit where John Cena humorously covered himself while presenting an award, reminiscent of a streaker incident in 1974. The skit sparked discussions about gender pay gap and labor movement in costume design. Despite the illusion, Cena was not fully nude, and the event garnered mixed reactions, with some finding it distasteful.
